Weekly people can watch them once a week. The rest must watch them once a week, build a buffer, or just wait for the season, while avoiding spoilers for the latter two.

Assumptions will rarely end up in your favour.

You perhaps didn't read they were teen backpackers? Of all the travellers in the world, find me a majority in the financial position to book all their accommodation with the confidence that no matter what, it's going to be great because that's the assurance of such a travel style and the price tag it comes with.

It's not like you're going to find the best deals online in a place with a hundred places to stay. Or maybe you can and that's the irony of your assumption.

Apart from work trips, I can't think of the last time I had accommodation all booked. I don't really see the point of travelling if you don't make plans after being there a while and getting to know good info from locals. A lot of the time locations or weather just sucks, so I keep on and adventure somewhere else instead. That's kind of normal outside of resort holidaying.

Oh, I will. I'm getting along in years and am about to pick up split boarding for backcountry. I could learn to just ski, but I've lived life surfing and skating, so I picked up snowboarding real fast and been doing that a while now.

Kinda always been into the idea of towing with a snow mobile too, so maybe I can afford that around then haha

Don't act your age. Get to a point where you're so dismissive of your age you have to think hard about what your age actually is.

If I stopped and started doing things based on what I'm meant to do at an age, I'd be a miserable piece of shit. I just do and think what I want. When I'm 60, I'll still be learning and doing what I want because I rejected the idea that I'm too old or too young for something.

Rather than setting sights on what you want to achieve, set sights on what you never want to become. The rest just flows around that and happiness is always there because you've identified what unhappiness is and stayed clear of it.

does mental gymnastics

Wait, I think I got it...

OP is saying we can reduce emissions by reducing aircraft traffic by pointing out the bathrooms are not gender specific.

Edit: No, that can't be it. Because we want people to use trains more over cars, so...

lol, and here's me thinking I'll get to finally loosen these bootstraps one day. Wouldn't be Millennial difficulty if something nice happened for once, so why should I expect reprieve in retirement age? Probably just be anxious af anyway because not being abused by another generation seems too good to be true.

I'm non-US and work at a university. Some of the academics I can't imagine surviving in the real world. The only way I can explain it is they get a PhD and then the Dunning-Kruger effect applies to everything, but they don't evolve on it. And they're weirdly incredibly gullable—like, in their 30s and vulnerable to scams and misinformation your grandma would immediately pick up on. You get concerned for what else they may be teaching students because kids fresh out of high school often trust adults and these adults put off an identity of being experts.

You want to say to them, "If it's not about phylogenetics, don't listen to a single fucking thing this person says no matter how confident they sound."

I just watched Buckaroo Bonzai having heard nothing about it. Fucking brilliant movie. I need to watch it again now that I know what I'm in for

I'm very familiar with the world of academia. To be honest, many of them/us are surprisingly stupid, but for a reason. To get a doctorate in a field is no easy task. Your lack of knowledge in much else is because you spent all you had being knowledgeable in a specific thing.

So even if you think a doctor is a stupid person in general, there is NO EXCUSE for them being stupid in the one thing they spent years becoming an expert in.

So, is this "doctor" actually holding a doctorate in this field? Let me check....

...god, he has the most generic name it's impossible to know.
